Our yearly family reunion at SoCal Regionals welcomed new members to our scene, new venue, new attractions, and some of the most memorable experiences to date. We could not have produced this event without passionate community members, our amazing production team, and sponsors which have supported the scene for many years. We are blessed to have you as contributors of SCR this year which was our most ambitious production yet.

The unsung heroes of the event which are on the front lines of every tournament. From checking players in, calling out matches, making sure the tournament rules are in motion, and pumping out 100s of matches daily. Huge shoutouts to our community leaders that took care of our guests at SoCal Regionals all weekend long.

The production staff which showcased some of our favorite games to the masses. These guys worked around the clock to ensure nobody missed a punch, a kick, a combo, and the salt that comes with it. The production team is an integral piece which captures the essence of the fighting game community.
